About
Bivona is a nonprofit organization that offers a safe, welcoming place where children who have been sexually or physically abused can begin their journey of healing. Bivona facilitates a multidisciplinary team of professionals that includes 24 partner agencies and provides the physical space where cases of child sexual and severe physical abuse, whenever possible and practical are investigated, evaluated, and treated. In 2019 alone, Bivona evaluated nearly 2,000 children. Bivona also leads the Monroe County Child Fatality Review Team, which evaluates all sudden, unexplained or unexpected child fatalities. (Continued on Schedule O)Additionally, Bivona is dedicated to increasing community awareness about child abuse through its hosting of the Bivona Child Abuse Summit conference with over 1,100 area professionals in attendance in 2019. Bivona also addresses prevention of child abuse by providing community-based education and outreach programs. In 2018, Bivona began offering a prevention education curriculum in public schools. At the start of the 2019/2020 school year, Bivona expanded our reach into two school districts, Spencerport and Pittsford, providing hundreds of children with age appropriate safety information. Bivona continues to add staff positions to ensure that families are receiving necessary support services to help them navigate the process of justice and healing. During 2019, the mental health component was the focus of our efforts. Bivona secured funding to support three positions, all delivering direct mental health services to children coming to Bivona. Those positions include: Director of Mental Health Services, Mental Health Coordinator, and a Mental Health therapist. Additionally, Bivona expanded our partnerships to include a local agency (Society for the Protection and Care for Children - SPCC) specializing in providing mental health therapy to children who have experienced trauma. Bivona obtains its support directly and indirectly from individuals, organizations, and government agencies in the community.
